This has always been one of my favorite verses. It's just so God. We have these meek little visions, goals and dreams and He always blows them away with immeasurably more than we can ask or imagine. This trip we are about to embark upon in 5 days has already started out just that way…
Immeasurably more…
Donations - we had our packing party Sunday night and we got so excited packing all of the donations that team members had collected that we packed a few more suitcases than we are allotted for travel :)!
Lemonade Stands - some sweet neighbor friends hosted a lemonade stand this weekend and collected over $120 to bless the sweet kids in Haiti.
Team members - at the last minute, through a series of events that could only be God, we have added Kelly Aakhus to our team and she will be such a blessing to us and the Haitians in many ways.
Trip funds - a few of our goers were apprehensive about raising the necessary money to cover the cost of the trip…as donations from family and friends have come in, their accounts are immeasurably more than they ever anticipated.
Garage Sale - the Linscott family hosted a garage sale a few weekends ago. We hoped to raise $1000 and ended up raising $1380.
Sorrow and Joy - many of the first time goers on our team don't know it yet, but they are about to experience immeasurably more sorrow and Joy all mixed in to one that they have ever experienced before. What a blessing it is to cling to the promise that we will have His power working within us as we serve in Haiti.
All of you - So many family and friends that have come along side us in prayer, with donations and with financial support. There may only be 17 of us physically going to Haiti but there are hundreds of you that we will take along with us in many ways.
So…we hope you will follow along on this blog as we feel so blessed to have the privilege to serve the people of Haiti and experience immeasurably more than we could ever dream up ourselves.
Glwa Pou Bondye!
Glory to God!
